Upload an HTML file

Uploading an HTML file to your domain's web server is one way to verify domain ownership and activate Google Apps for your domain. This requires that you have access to the server and can upload files to it. If your domain doesn't have a web server (for example, if you never set up a website for it), or if you use a content management system that doesn't let you upload to the server, you can verify domain ownership in other ways, instead (view other options).

The HTML file you upload must be available at your naked domain and from anywhere on the internet. This means the file is visible at your domain minus "www" in the URL, such as http://your_domain.com/your_filename.html and not http://www.your_domain.com/your_filename.html. Also, the file must also be publicly available and not limited to your corporate network.
